I haven't worked in New York, so take this as second hand knowledge, but I've 
followed these forums and others enough to learn the following:

If you don't have NYC experience, you will start from the bottom, period.  
Unless you are Gary Regan or Christian Delpeche (i.e. a celebrity bartender), 
few places will hire you without NYC experience.  As I'm sure you're aware, 
every large city's service industry is a close knit community.  NYC is the 
same, except with a larger population at a higher density.  Read: More 
competition.

Expect to barback for awhile before anybody gives you a chance to pour, and 
good luck.
